The Sacred Shield's main selling point is the fact that it repairs itself upon being damaged overtime,[3][4] unlike the wooden and iron shields. However, it is more fragile than the aforementioned shields,[3] needing a lot less damage to break. The Sacred Shield can block all sorts of attacks, including fire, electricity, and curse attacks.[3][5] Furthermore, the Sacred Shield has the special ability of being able to startle Cursed Bokoblins when they see the shield.[6]

Upgrades

Divine Shield

The first upgrade to the Sacred Shield is the Divine Shield. The Divine Shield has more durability than the Sacred Shield, and shares the ability of restoring itself after taking damage.[7] The upgrade can be performed by Gondo at the Scrap Shop within the Bazaar. In order to do the upgrade, Link needs to collect three Ornamental Skulls, two Bird Feathers, one Dusk Relic, and 100 Rupees.

Goddess Shield

The second, and final, upgrade to the Sacred Shield is the Goddess Shield. This shield is a lot more durable than the previous two, which, combined with its ability to restore itself, means that the likelihood of it ever breaking is extremely low. In order to perform this upgrade, Link needs to supply Gondo with four Dusk Relics, three Bird Feathers, three Monster Horns, one Blue Bird Feather, and 150 Rupees.

Trivia

The Sacred Shield has what appears to be the talon of a Loftwing on it.

↑ "Target lock: Cursed Bokoblin
This horrifying Bokoblin reanimates after death. Analysis indicates it fears pure, shiny items and will startle at the sight of a sacred shield. It is able to reanimate purely through its hatred of this world...and its attachment to outlandish underpants." — Fi, Skyward Sword.
